Compaq Presario CQ43

Hello

I have a Compaq Presario CQ43-102AU and have thought about updates.

Is it possible to upgrade the processor and the RAM?

Thanks in advance

-Mike

Certainly an AMD processor can only be upgraded to another AMD processor with the same PIN architecture. He must position the slot in the motherboard. And it must be recognized and compatible with the BIOS of the laptop.

I have now found your product, but HP has not yet posted the Service Manual online, which gives a list of compatible processors.

Here are the specs:

I see that you have 2 GB of RAM. Since you also have Windows 7 64-bit, you can easily switch to 4 GB of RAM DDR3 - 1333 computer laptop memory which should be available quite cheap at any computer store. Passage of 2 to 4 concerts will make a world of difference in reactivity.

I would stay away from trying a processor upgrade. The laptop is too recent, and it could void the warranty. I'm sure that you have not paid much for the laptop, and you can probably sell for close to what you paid and get a faster. The unique processors for laptops cost as much as half of what the laptop costs. It is a laptop low end budget and is hampered by a weak graphic system, even with a faster processor, it will not be much you can do with him. If all you are doing is internet and office type work that's fine.

  • HP Compaq presario CQ43: not enough ram in my computer

    My HP Compaq presario CQ43 has 2 GB of ram. I want to get 8GB. It is 64 bit and it's hard to run most programs because of the ram being such a small size. It will support 8 GB of ram? If I take out the old 2gig and put 8 gig will perform best?

    According to the manual, yes it can accept up to 8 GB memory DDR3-1333 SO-DIMM. See this video on: 33 in there where is flush with the memory. This technology never removes the memory but you just spread the retaining clips and remove and then follow again. See the second video.

    You have 2 slots, so you need the modules of 2 x 4 GB like this:

    4 GB (PC3 10600, 1 333 MHz) 621569-001

    Yes, 8 GB of memory will be a major improvement. Better upgrade would be to replace the mechanical drive with an SSD. After back if you are interested by this.

  • Recovery of OS for Presario CQ43

    Model: Compaq Presario CQ43

    OS: Windows 7 Starter OEM Software SEA

    The recovery partition has been remove because I installed Ubuntu. Is their way to download or the link to an another Windows 7 Starter. Will be the serial number at the back of my laptop works for the downloaded Windows 7 Starter?

    Hello

    You can use the following method to create your own Windows 7 Starter installation disc.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC. However, it not there no directly available for Windows 7 Starter download, so you'll need to download another version (one will do, but the links below are for Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit or 64-bit, if you need - the source is Digital River).

    Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 32-bit

    Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit

    For the key on your label of COA to work, you must now use the method described in the following link to convert this ISO to an all-version Installer.

    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/85813-Windows-7-universal-installation-disc-create.html

    Once that is done, use an application like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

    Additional drivers and you could possibly need for your laptop are from software here.

  • CPQ Presario CQ43 the touchpad freezes sometimes when I type. What I'm I doing wrong?

    Operating windows 7 on Compaq Presario CQ43. Touch buttons freezes sometimes when I type, so I can't get anything to move. Only way I can 'fix' is to use the arrow keys to get to "restart" and wait for the thing to re-boot. During this time, I lost what I was typing, as well as the time it takes to do this. Ask me if I am accidentally captures a key that is blocking? What is a 'fault '? Help please :-)

    Hello

    Some keyboards have a box in the upper left corner, which if double-tapped, alternating the power button - check if this is the case with your Touchpad.

  • Compaq Presario SR1150NX: Error, disk Compaq recovery dead

    Hello, I have a desktop Compaq Presario SR1150NX of 2005. Everything works well in it and we emptied dust not for long. But then, one day I went to start it it says a critical system file was missing. I'm confused at first. After half an hour, creating a USB disk only to find it didn't work, I then had to use the Windows XP Recovery Console. Then after I fixed it it still didn't start because it couldint find the file. But when I start the computer, it shows me that, if I press F10, it boots into system recovery mode. OT started and told me that I could boot into windows xp system recovery. But in the middle of this, the computer overheats and shuts down. When I tried to turn it on again it gave me a disc error AND when I boot in recoervy, it's just bluescreens. Now when I turn on the computer, it does nothing.

    Is there any where where I could download a recoervy tool to open the hard drive in order to get the data on the drive and get a new drive? Or get a Windows recovery disc?

    Any help is the Apprecited!

    Remove the disk from the desktop.

    Buy

    USB 2.0 for HDD SATA/IDE adapter 2.5/3.5/5.25IN drives w / adapter

    See: http://www.ncix.com/detail/usb2-0-to-sata-ide-drive-adapter-a3-17762.htm

    and connect your hard disk with this adapter to a USB port on your computer.

    When you connect, Windows will ask your permission to run 'check disk' ('CHKDSK') to review and fix any problem of file system.

    I think that the corrupt currently-system files on the hard drive is causing startup problems you reported.

    Re-connect the desktop "repaired" disk drive, and then try again.
